The incubation period of beet yellowing viruses in sugar-beet under field conditions

Sugar Beet Genotypes Grouping under Normal and Saline Conditions

For ranking and grouping of full-sibs and hybrids of sugar beet obtained from breeding programs, two separate experiments were carried out at the farm of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Miandoab in 2017 under saline and normal conditions. For this purpose, 17 full-sibs and 28 hybrids differing in resistance and susceptibility to environmental stresses were investigate...

Effect of Drying Conditions on Properties of Dried Sugar Beet

Improvement of the Sugar Beet

SUGARCANE and sugar beet are the important sources of sugar. This foodstuff, wldcli today is one of the purest and cheapest in our dietary, two centuries ago was a luxury available only to the rich. The story of the rise of sugar production to meet an ever-increasing demand is a romance of agriculture and chemistry. The accomplishments of the plant breeder and the chemical engineer in making th...

Interactions Between Beet necrotic yellow vein virus and Beet soilborne mosaic virus in Sugar Beet

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV) are members of the genus Benyvirus (9). Both viruses infect members of the family Chenopodiaceae, most notably sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), and are transmitted by the plasmodiophorid, Polymyxa betae (1,2). BNYVV infection causes rhizomania disease in sugar beet (4,21); however, BSBMV infection does not (28). BSBMV...

The Effect of Salinity Stress on Full-sib Progeny of Sugar Beet in Field Condition

Considering the effect of salinity stress on the quantitative and qualitative traits of sugar beet genotypes, it seems necessary to study the response of genotypes obtained from breeding programs to salinity stress. For this purpose, 17 full-sib genotypes (derived from sibling crossing) with 7 different tolerant control under two salinity stress (electrical conductivity 17.36 dsm) and without s...
